Test #1 solutions problem #6a & #6b

6(a). True – The transpose of an invertible matrix is an invertible matrix
Ex:

A=

det(A) = -2*-1/2 – 3/2 = -1/2

A^T=

det(A^T) = -2*-1/2 – 3/2 = -1/2

6(b). False – Every system of linear equations has exactly one solution

Infinite Solutions:

x+y=1, 2x+2y=2

2x+2y=2 is basically x+y=1 when divided by 2.

Graph:

No Solutions:

x+y=0, x+y=1

One Solutions:

x+2y=1, 2x+2y=2

Introducing Zu Jia

Hi everyone, my name is Zu Jia, but Zu is fine also. I’m a senior majoring in Computer Engineering, but my hobbies are more into the IT field. One of my favorite things to do is watch tech products review, or PC building videos. On my free time, I also like to build the PCs myself, in fact I’ve build PCs for some of my friends, and I could never get bored of it. The joy about building the PC is the different parts that you get to choose and assemble the final product that you vision it to look like. After graduation, I Hope to work more in the IT field, specifically in computer hardware or the network section. It’s all thanks to this major that I found out that I actually enjoyed doing IT more.
